War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

2203 Hao Shuang, a Quasi Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage Powerhouse?

The eyes of the people from Fire Worship Sect lit up immediately when they heard Leng Ying’s words.

The Sect Leader of Black Kshetra Sect scoffed as his expression darkened. Naturally, he was aware of the things that Leng Ying had brought up. For this reason, he had never intended to kill the few Guardians of Fire Worship Sect. He only planned to teach them a painful lesson. He truly did not dare to kill these few Guardians from the Fire Worship Sect. It was acceptable if he killed Duan Ling Tian since they had a good reason. The Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect would not act recklessly and retaliate. However, if the remaining Guardians were killed as well, the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect would be justifiably furious since it was equivalent to breaking all the pillars that held up the Fire Worship Sect. At that time, the Sect Leader would undoubtedly spare no effort to seek revenge from the Black Kshetra Sect.

Leng Ying was right. If the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect decided to act, even the Supreme Elder of Black Kshetra Sect would not be able to stop him. The Black Kshetra Sect would definitely meet a terrible end. This was why the Sect Leader of Black Kshetra Sect had no intention of killing the other four Guardians. His target was only Duan Ling Tian. Follow current novelenglish.net . s on novelenglish.net . Firᴇ(.)nᴇt

In fact, he also did not plan to kill Duan Ling Tian for the time being unless it was absolutely necessary. He planned to bring Duan Ling Tian back to interrogate him on how he had grown so strong in the trap left behind by the three Eminent Devils. If he managed to obtain the secret, it would help the high-ranking officials in Black Kshetra Sect to grow stronger.

If there was no secret in the trap that the three Eminent Devils left behind, the Sect Leader of Black Kshetra Sect would kill Duan Ling Tian. If he did not kill Duan Ling Tian, people would think the Black Kshetra Sect was afraid of the Fire Worship Sect.

“Guardian Leng Ying, you’re right! We don’t dare to kill all of you, but do any of you dare to kill us?” The White Tiger King looked at Leng Ying and smirked coldly. “We only came today for Duan Ling Tian. However, since all of you insist on interfering with this matter, even if we don’t dare to kill you, we’ll let you have a taste of what pain feels like. You can’t blame us since Sect Leader had given you a chance earlier, but all of you refused his good intention!” The smirk on his face widened when he finished speaking.

“If Mr. Hao weren’t around, both sides would be equally matched. However, since Mr. Hao is going to deal with Duan Ling Tian, the strongest among all of you, I wonder how all of you will fare against us...?” The White Tiger King said with a sneer. Based on his words, it could be seen that he was certain of the Black Kshetra Sect’s victory.

Before the people from Black Kshetra Sect came to the Fire Worship Sect, they had analyzed Duan Ling Tian’s strength. They found it hard to believe, but after much consideration, they came to the conclusion that Duan Ling Tian was the strongest among the five Guardians of Fire Worship Sect.

Not only did Duan Ling Tian kill the Golden Lion King of Black Kshetra Sect with just three strikes, but he even defeated Leng Ying, the Hall Master of the Fire Worship Sect’s Enforcement Hall, who had broken through to the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage with just three strikes. Previously, the Black Kshetra Sect had also analyzed Leng Ying’s strength and came to the conclusion that he was as strong as Qing Huo and stronger than Hong Yun after he had broken through to the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. Apart from that, he was even stronger than the Sect Leader of Black Kshetra Sect. However, Duan Ling Tian defeated someone like that with just three strikes.

In the Black Kshetra Sect, even the Violet Dragon King and White Tiger King did not dare to say they could defeat Leng Ying who was at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage with three strikes! That was how they concluded that Duan Ling Tian’s strength was not inferior to the Violet Dragon King and the White Tiger King. In fact, it was likely that he was stronger than both of them. For this reason, they decided to seek external help.

After searching for help, the Black Kshetra Sect found Hao Shuang who was ranked fifth on the Supreme Saint Ranking. He was also widely acknowledged as the strongest powerhouse under the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage in the Dao Martial Saint Land! In their opinion, Duan Ling Tian was strong, but he could not be stronger than Hao Shuang. It would be easy for Hao Shuang to defeat Duan Ling Tian.

As soon as the White Tiger King finished speaking, the expressions of the people from the Fire Worship Sect, except for Duan Ling Tian, changed immediately. As it turned out, the Black Kshetra Sect had long planned this. Their target was only Duan Ling Tian, but they planned to teach the Guardians a painful lesson.

“Hao Shuang!” Zi Feng looked at Hao Shuang with a piercing gaze. He no longer tried to get Hao Shuang to stay out of the matter. Instead, he bluntly threatened Hao Shuang.”Guardian Ling Tian is someone our sect leader has vowed to protect. For his sake, our sect leader didn’t even hesitate to fight the Supreme Elder of Black Kshetra Sect. Think this through. If you help the Black Kshetra Sect to kill or abduct Guardian Ling Tian today, you’ll have to answer to our sect leader. It won’t be difficult for him to kill you if he wants to...!”

Since a soft approach did not work, Zi Feng decided to use a forceful approach. This was a rare occasion where he was so forceful.

Hao Shuang’s expression turned grim when he heard Zi Feng’s threats.

“That’s right!” Leng Ying chimed in, “Hao Shuang, you must think this through. Lord Sect Leader is stronger than you even when he was at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. Now that he has broken through to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, it would be as easy as killing a chicken for him to kill you. Unless you plan to go into hiding, you’ll eventually die!” Leng Ying’s words that sounded like a reminder was nothing but a poorly veiled threat as well.

The Sect Leader of Black Kshetra Sect snorted before he said disdainfully, “Guardian Zi Feng, Guardian Leng Ying... You’re unaware of this, but our Supreme Elder has promised Brother Hao that he would protect him until he makes a breakthrough to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage! Brother Hao has already got one foot in the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, he’s very close to breaking through. He’s confident he’ll have a breakthrough within ten years. At that time, he could protect himself from your sect leader even if his speed is not as fast...” He sneered after he finished speaking.

The expressions of Zi Feng, Leng Ying, and the people from Fire Worship Sect changed immediately.

“Hao Shuang is going to break through to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage soon?” Th1s chapter is updated by n)ovel/\bin/\

There was a hint of dread in their eyes when they looked at Hao Shuang. If what the Sect Leader of Black Kshetra Sect said was true, this meant that Hao Shuang was currently a quasi Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage powerhouse!

Hao Shuang’s expression was dark as he looked at Zi Feng and Leng Ying coldly. “As long as my cultivation base enters the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, there’s no need for me to fear the Sect Leader of your Fire Worship Sect. Even if I’m no match for him at that time, I can still protect myself. If he tries to kill me, I have my ways to seek revenge from the Fire Worship Sect. I’d like to see if he dares to make a move on me if he’s not 100% certain he can kill me...” Hao Shuang said confidently.

The expressions of the people from Fire Worship Sect turned gloomy.

For a short time, the entire place fell silent.

All of a sudden, the sound of someone laughing broke the silence, attracting everyone’s attention.

Everyone turned to look at the source of the noise and saw Duan Ling Tian laughing.

Hao Shuang looked at Duan Ling Tian fiercely as he snarled, “What are you laughing at?!”

“Nothing...” Duan Ling Tian’s laughter died down. He looked at Hao Shuang with nary a ripple in his emotion and changed the topic. He asked one question after another, “Does this mean the key to Black Kshetra Sect’s success is you? Whether or not I get killed or abducted depends on you? You’re going to deal with me on your own?”

“Why? You’re scared?” Hao Shuang smirked.

“Scared?” Duan Ling Tian smiled brightly. At the same time, his robe began to flutter in the air. Soon after, scales began to appear on his hands. Upon closer inspection, one would see it was dragon scales. From his neck down, his body transformed into that of a humanoid dragon, causing his robe to rip. If one looked closely, one would be able to see there were nine claws on his hands and feet. He had transformed into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior!

Based on how quickly Duan Ling Tian had transformed into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior, it could be seen that Duan Ling Tian felt wary about Hao Shuang. Moreover, it also showed that he had a high opinion of Hao Shuang, his opponent. Previously, when he killed Xie Kang Xun, the Golden Lion King of Black Kshetra Sect, and defeated Leng Ying, he did not transform into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior. Although transforming into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior would not raise his strength greatly, it would still make him stronger.

“A Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior!”

Everyone’s eyes widened when they saw nine claws on Duan Ling Tian’s hands and feet after he transformed into a humanoid dragon.
